Dear Maintainer,

light-locker fails to start. Trying to start it from a terminal produces:

$ light-locker

(light-locker:11648): dbind-WARNING **: 23:06:56.641: AT-SPI: Error retrieving accessibility bus address: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.a11y.Bus was not provided by any .service files

** (light-locker:11648): ERROR **: 23:06:56.642: session_id is not set, is /proc mounted with hidepid>0?
Trace/breakpoint trap


The following is recorded by syslog:

dbus-daemon[3288]: [session uid=1000 pid=3286 pidfd=4] Activating service name='org.xfce.Xfconf' requested by ':1.83' (uid=1000 pid=11648 comm="light-locker" label="unconfined")

I forgot to include that, as far as I know, /proc is NOT being mounted with
hidepid:

# mount -l -t proc
proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime)


Also, I don't think it's clear from the listed dependencies that I'm running
LXQt (the "lxqt" metapackage is installed).

Thanks,

Roger

Every time I start Plasma (also have xfce installed), it will give me an error that /usr/bin/light-locker has encountered a fatal error and was closed, I don't know what's happening or why it's trying to run when I start Plasma, but uninstalling it fixed it temporarily.
